The Hamiltonians of Linear Quantum Fields: II. Classically Positive Hamiltonians
Adam D. Helfer
For linear bose field theories, I show that if a classical Hamiltonian function is strictly positive, then there is a canonical transformation making the evolution orthogonal. This…

The Hamiltonians of Linear Quantum Fields: I. Existence Theory
Adam D. Helfer
For linear scalar field theories, I characterize those classical Hamiltonian vector fields which have self-adjoint operators as their quantum counterparts. As an application, it is…

The Physics of Negative Energy Densities
Adam D. Helfer
I review some recent results showing that the physics of negative energy densities, as predicted by relativistic quantum field theories, is more complicated than has generally been…
